4.3 TOWN/VILLAGE/COMMUNITY CENTERS <br /> From the survey, the second priority was for the Town Center. Specifically, surrvey responses <br /> requested the following: retail (grocery store, bakery, restaurants, drug stores, hardware) and <br /> personal businesses (beauty shop), transit hub, medical services (pharmacy, urgent care), light <br /> industry (auto repair, plumbing, electrical), elderly center/housing, farmers market, gas station, <br /> post office, police and fire station, schools, and libraries. (PCDP Reference Table 5-1) <br /> The sustainable community concept is perfect for this area as there is a need for services and jobs <br /> within this community which is miles from existing facilities. A regional town center in HPP <br /> (Kaloli Drive)would increase access to necessary resources for community members across their <br /> life spans; would reduce traffic on highways; would improve economic development and provide <br /> a variety of types of employment opportunities; and would allow more families to shelter-in- <br /> place in times of disaster reducing the strains on the County as noted in PCDP Figure 3.2: <br /> Proposed Town and Village Center Locations. Land ownership and deed restrictions within <br /> HPP make several 20 acre, one 31 acre, and 40 acre parcel available for education or recreation <br /> for either state schools or private educational institutions or private or public recreational <br /> organizations (PCDP map 5-3). <br /> 4.4 INFRASTRUCTURE <br /> HPP's infrastructure is recognized as substandard which was reflected in the survey's results and <br /> is the third major priority. Since the 1997 HPP Master Plan, there have been some <br /> improvements noted such as road paving, road reflectors, and signage. However, additional <br /> actions need to be taken to meet minimum needs. Some of these are pave all roads; install <br /> walking/bike paths; designate emergency roads, speed controls, and street lights; update <br /> telecommunication systems (internet, cable, phone); update Civil Defense sirens and radio <br /> transmissions; and, address water and sanitation issues. Many of these needs are addressed in <br /> the PCDP Chapters 3 and 4. <br /> 16 <br />
